If I am eating in a restaurant and a car crashes into the dining room I am covered by the liability insurance paid for by the restaurant because it happened on their premises.
This customer was in/on the premises of Yellow Checker Cab Co.
While in their place of business the customer's safety is guaranteed.
Not wearing a seatbelt is kinda foolish on her part, and the cabbies.
I am required by law to make sure that all passengers in my vehicle are seatbelted.
Why would that not be true for commercial vehicles?
A black eye on Vegas if she is left hanging out to dry.
If I were her I would yell loud and long till it hits them right in the wallet.
"Take a cab in Vegas? No way. Thats not safe!"
When bad news like this "Happens in Vegas" but doesn't "Stay in Vegas" the whole city will suffer.
As long as our elected leaders wish to play ostrich....
Parents are free to educate or to not educate their children.
The children will gain or suffer the consequences of their parent's decision.
Strangely enough, many of the people preaching abstinence/ignorance are vocal about worshipping a child whose Father was not the husband of His mother.
Go figure.

Who is making excuses?
Aren't you interested in preventing this from happening again?
There are REASONS why people chose to do these things.
Reasons to do with brain function, instinct, psychology, societal pressure, cultural upbringing and other sciences.
Only when these reasons are discovered, can we begin to change human behavior into something more humane.
To give simplistic answers like "these doctors and nurses are greedy" and "Hitler was a monster" is to be doomed to endlessly repeat these tragic occurrances.
It is laughable when politicians and populace can be lulled into believing that tragedies like suicide bombing and school shootings can be averted by stiffer laws and harsher punishments.
This has nothing to do with excusing the perpetrators and everything to do with making sure it doesn't happen again.
When people say "Never again" about the Holocaust, we have conveniently forgotten that Stalin, Mao Ze-Dong,Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Milosevic, Papa Doc Duvalier, Mugabe, Saddam Hussein, Rwanda, Somalia, Sierra Leone have proven that that kind of insanity has happened over and over since then.
And they didn't even get kissed! :(
Just because somebody has their hand out, it doesn't mean you give them your wallet.
That club sounds like the strip-joints where men hand over huge amounts of money to impress dancers that view the men as suckers.
My family and friends are more impressed by the amazing food and shows that Las Vegas has to offer for reasonable prices.

Free Speech is about an individual expressing their opinion freely in the public arena.
Free Speech is Not a wealthy corporation employing surrogates to disrupt the civil expression of free speech for financial gain.
Everyone employed for the purpose of being a surrogate to advance a political opinion should be required to wear a name badge stating the employer.
That goes for signature gatherers and blockers.
